Hide Me

Hide me Lord

Ps.64:2 Acts12:2,3, Jer.36:26

The purpose of the enemy is to seize first and then destroy. Do you know if you have been seized by the enemy, in any area of your life? It is time to have God intervene by taking it to Him in prayer. Acts 12:2, 3 then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. In attempt for the enemy to destroy Peter, he seized him. Paul was once securely seized for destruction while at Philippi. Jehoiakim king of Judah also attempted to seize Jeremiah. In Jer.36:26, and the king commanded Jerahneel the KingÕs son, Seaiah the son Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremih the prophet, but the LORD hid them. In the midst of plot and attempt of the enemy, the LORD will always hide His own. He kept Peter, Paul, and Jeremiah in hiding. It does not matter who has been a victim or who is being victimized, God will always be faithful to those that are faithful in their work for His glory. Psalmist prayed in Ps.64:2 hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity. God will always hide His children from the wickedness of this world. Call on Him and He will answer.

 

 

Hear Him

Hear Him

Jh.2:5, 8:43 Lk.9:27-36

Jesus said in Jh.8:43 why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. Also, in Jh.2:5, His mother said to the servants, ÒWhatever He says to you, do it.Ó At the transfiguration God the creator, eternal rock of ages also spoke. Lk.9:35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ÒThis is my beloved Son. Hear Him!Ó The problem of this world should be diagnosed as attention deficit or disability in hearing. It is clear and loud in pages of the Holy Bible; you cannot hear God and doubt Him. Isaiah heard Him, Moses heard Him and many other giants in the bible heard Him and answered. Even the boy Samuel heard and answered. The problem is in hearing, and it cannot be separated from listening. When you fail to listen to Him, you will miss in hearing His direction in your circumstances.  When you hear God speak to your circumstances, it is settled. Your situation has remained because you have not been hearing when He speaks direction to your situation. God has spoken; He has said it all in the Holy Bible. He spoke to His children and He is still speaking but, hearing is your problem. Ask God to help open your spiritual ear of understanding and deny every ear blocking spirit in your life today. You cannot hear from God and doubt Him. 

 

Trust And Obey

Trust and Obey

Luke 9:12-17

At the feeding of five thousand, disciples asked for the multitude to be sent away after they have been fed by the word. They were concerned because: it was a desert area; it was a late hour. The concerns were based on the need to be able to feed the multitudes. Jesus requested that the multitudes be fed with five loaves and two fish. The request sounded impossible; in an impossible location; at impossible hour of the day. Having mentioned to the disciples to feed them, He gave a clear command Luke 9:14 for there were about five thousand men. Then He said t o the disciples ÒMake them sit down in groups of fiftyÓ. Always catch His direction in full or else you will be short in miracle. In this situation, just sitting down would not have been a complete obedience if they had left out sitting in order (groups of fifty). Luke 15 recorded that, Òand they did so, and made all sit down. After they had followed direction fully, He blessed five loaves and two fish to feed multitudes of Five thousand, and they ate in abundance. Can you see? Until His command and order was received indeed He did not bless the bread and fish. The scripture is neither story nor letter, it is meant to give life. Trust and obey, avoid half obedience and all impossibilities in your life will be converted to possibilities, it does not matter how impossible your situation presents itself. The LORD is God, the LORD is God, and the LORD is God.

Clean

Clean

Mark 1:40-45

A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, Òif you are willing, You can make me clean.Ó Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and Said to him, ÒI am willing: be cleansed.Ó(Mark 1:40,41) He is still the master of compassion. He was, He is, and He will always be the healing healer. A leper went to Him kneeling downÉhave you been going to Him with your problems? Have you always asked someone to go your behalf? Although it makes no difference how your request has been going to Him. However, concerning the particular one that has become an issue of shame, go to Him and ask by yourself for a cleansing from leprosy (your issue of shame and embarrassment). As you set the eyes of your heart on Him this day, implore the living God with a heart of expectation and He will have compassion concerning your issue. He did it for the man with leprosy; today He will clean you for His name to be glorified.

 

Speed Adjustment?

Isaiah 40:28-31

Speed adjustment?

As a child of the most high God, is there any area of your life where you are running when you suppose to be walking? Also, is there any area where you have been walking instead of running? The situations around you have changed your speed? You need to be walking but you could not; you need to be running but you are walking? Does this sound like you? Whenever the storm of life rises, it disrupts the speed of journey in life and unexpected fluctuation in your speed results to weariness or fainting. All is a device of the enemy to deny your safe arrival to GodÕs calling. However, as a child of God, there is a way for you to get to your destination as ordained by God. If you are willing to wait on the LORD your speed will be to your favor either in walking or in your running. He that called you is faithful to see you through at any speed that will not hurt you. Isaiah 40:31 said it all ÒBut those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faintÓ The word of God is true. Ask God for impartation of grace in waiting on Him and you will not waste in your journey.
